Global Action on Gun Violence (GAGV)
@actiononguns.bsky.social
Nonprofit fighting U.S. gun violence with global advocacy.
Most of the world regulates the gun industry. The U.S. protects it. Why? Toxic gun politics. But we don’t have to wait for Congress.
Litigation, corporate reform, and legal accountability can change industry and save lives.

When countries acted, lives were saved.
After mass shootings and rising gun violence, nations like Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand passed stricter gun laws. The result? Gun deaths dropped significantly.
Change is possible when we choose action over silence.

We must confront the industry source of the crime gun trafficking pipeline.
It’s time to hold the gun industry accountable.

Irresponsible gun manufacturers fuel gun trafficking by ignoring red flags, exploiting weak laws, and flooding markets with little oversight. These practices don’t just harm the U.S.; they export violence globally. This is a public health crisis with a supply chain.

The U.S. gun industry doesn’t stop at our borders. It exports weapons, loopholes, and lawlessness.
Our gun violence epidemic is becoming a global pandemic.
